Can someone explain or help me solve why my computer won't turn on.
I have everything plugged in and this is not the first time I've built a computer (just recently built 4 systems for myself, family and friends)
Specs:
Intel i7-860
Corsair H50 water cooling
4 x 2gb Super Talent ddr3 1600mhz
4 x 1tb Samsung F3
1 x MSI 260gtx 216
ECS p55H-A motherboard
700watt OCZ modular power supply
Lian Li k62 case
When I power on the PSU from O to - and click the power on button, my system flashes but doesn't post. What I mean by flashing is the fans come on for a fraction of a second (I can tell because they're blue LED) and that's it. The standby light on the mobo is on throughout. I also tried the Clear CMOS button and it does the same thing.. flashes my system and all the lights including the lcd post and power on light flash for a mere second. Can people tell me what is wrong? The same thing happens when I remove my memory and gpu, so they shouldn't be the problem. Is it a short or something? And how could it be if I have the mobo on the right atx standoffs and secured in. All power cables are secured.
.. I really hope its not the mobo or else I'm going to have to disassemble and do everything over again... including a RMA headache. Any comments would be appreciated.
